What platforms does Lingo run on?
The operating system options for lingo are Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista (any edition). Windows 95 is not supported.
I'm a Mac user, how can I use Lingo?
Lingo works well with Windows on a Mac OS by using Virtual PC. Please make sure the system requirements for Virtual PC are appropriate for your system.
On Intel based Macs you can also run Windows by various means: Apple's Bootcamp for booting into Windows, VMWare and Parallells as other virtualization software.
What are the books and chapters in Lingo?
Lingo uses these concepts, because they make it easy to organize your words. A book can be a real-life book or hand-out, from which you enter words into Lingo, or it could be just an group name for a set of chapters you want to divide your words into.
Chapters are either the real chapters in a book (this makes it easy to select one or multiple chapters to learn) or a subgrouping of words below the book-level. For example if you are making your own vocabularies for the language English regarding traveling, you could create a book named "Travel" and chapters named "Shopping", "Dining" and "General Terms". In shopping, you would put words needed for shopping situations and so on.
May I import vocabularies from another application, spreadsheet or text files?
You may convert ASCII-files (comma separated text files) into Lingo's XML-format with some basic XML-knowledge.
May I share my vocabulary and language files with others?
Yes, indeed you can! We are glad to publish vocabulary files on this website. Please send your file as a ZIPped archive to support (at) globalicssoftware.com .
